Governor Seyi Makinde of Oyo State says that the Southwest chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) will continue with efforts aimed at uniting its members to ensure a stronger party in the zone.
The governor, who addressed newsmen after a meeting with members of the Zonal Working Committee of the party held at the Agodi Government House, Ibadan said that leaders of the party would continue to support reconciliatory efforts of the former Governor Olagunsoye Oyinlola-led Reconciliation Committee.
He added that the Prince Oyinlola team would work with the committee set up by the national leadership of the PDP to unite the party in the South-west geopolitical zone.
Governor Makinde maintained that leaders of the party in the geopolitical zone would not be deterred or discouraged in their efforts to reconcile all parties in the Southwest PDP and called on certain individuals behind the crisis rocking the zonal chapter to have a change of heart .
The governor declared that the alleged suspension of the zonal chairman of the party, Mr. Dayo Ogungbenro, as null and void.
He stressed that members of the zonal executive who announced the suspension of the chairman lacked the power to do so since they did not constitute two-thirds of the executive committee as guaranteed by the party’s constitution.
